Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Why have you contacted me?
A: Our team conducts thorough research before making contact and will only contact you if we believe that you are a potential heir. If you’ve received a letter from us, we can provide further details.

Q: What does the process involve?
A: We handle everything from initial research to legal documentation, making the process as smooth and stress-free as possible.

Q: How long might the process take?
A: This is dependent on a number of different factors across the sector, involving many third parties. Whilst every case is different, we are currently advising our clients that the process may take 9 to 12 months, but we are not able to guarantee anything. Delays in probate have shown signs of improvement over the last 6 months but there is no set timeframe for how long things might take.
